Burial of Ebenezer Britain
« on: Saturday 04 December 04 20:29 GMT (UK) »
Help please,

Ebenezer Britain, a Primitive Methodist minister, died on the 5 August 1852 aged 26. At the time he was living in Victoria St Abergavenny. Could someone tell me the name of the cemetery in which he may be buried? Thank you.

Hi.
Click this link: http://www.abergavenny.net/images/gif/map_churches.gif
You will see Victoria Street. There are a couple of churches here. The one on Victoria Street is the Salvation Army Church and the one on Trinity Street is the Holy Trinity Church.

Do you know which church he was a minister at? This site has the phone numbers of the churches, perhaps you could give 'em a ring and ask. It couldn't hurt as a last resort ;)

Ryan,
Thank you. If there wasn't a Primitive Methodist Chapel he would have preached in someone's house or even in the open air. I'll check out the websites you suggested.
Again, thank you
